The World's Best cruise line provides a risk-free return on your cruise investment.

Now Extended Through 2010! As a savvy guest in today's economy, you are seeking risk-free returns on your investments. Therefore, in addition to providing the World's Best vacation experience both onboard and ashore, we have developed the Crystal Assurance Plan (CAP). This new plan includes several policies that will guarantee you, the security and peace of mind that you are making the smartest choice when you invest in the World's Best.

Price Guarantee and Protection: If you book a 2009 or 2010 cruise and the fare for your stateroom category is later reduced, you will be protected at the reduced fare.*

Lower Deposits: Crystal has lowered 2009 and 2010 cruise deposits from 10% to 5% for all itineraries (except 2009 and 2010 World Cruise and its voyages).

Extended Options: Crystal will increase the option period from three days to seven before your deposit is required.

Cancellation Period Reduction: You may now cancel your cruise from 75 up to 45 days prior to sailing without penalty on all 2009 and 2010 itineraries (except 2009 and 2010 World Cruise and its voyages).

We know the challenges you are facing. Please rest assured that in addition to the above measures Crystal will continue to offer a luxury vacation experience that is tried-and-true. An experience that has been voted World's Best more than any other cruise line, hotel or resort in history. An experience that is possibly the most secure investment you can make today. As always, the difference is Crystal clear.
